Dear Aunt Libby, Bobby, Sue and Richard and family,
Uncle Bob was a kind, warm, and caring person, and I was very sad to hear of his passing. I'm thinking of you all, and remembering how much I always enjoyed his company and good humor. As a connoisseur of sweets, he always knew the best dessert (or desserts!) to select after a meal. Love, Lori
